7. Over-protecting a brand
The 2016 Olympics saw increased intellectual property rights being developed, so much so that there
was confusion about who could and couldn’t tweet using the hashtag #Rio2016.
Some years ago, Victoria Beckham is said to have explored trademarking her name. When she
discovered this meant she could no longer be mentioned without her permission, she realized news
coverage would decrease significantly, so abandoned any plans that may have been put into place.
The Olympic organizers were trying to stop businesses profiting from association with their brand but
as a result, there was general confusion and ordinary people avoided using the hashtag. A parody
account called @Rule40 started and warned people when they were infringing copyright and Twitter
started deleting #rio2016 tweets as it breached copyright.
In London in 2012 the #London2012 generated more than 150 million tweets within 16
days. #Rio2016 generated more than 187 million tweets, that’s 37 million more or a 24% increase yet
smart phone ownership in the same period increased by more than 30%.
People were afraid of using the hashtag and most-visited page was one from the BBC about how to or
not to use the hashtag.

Plan offline and online campaigns together as one large campaign, each
element whether online or offline is all part of the same campaign. Read our
article on ‘The ingredients for an effective integrated marketing campaign’.
Review the campaign’s strategy and objectives: Assess the performance of the campaign
against the KPIs that were set for it, as well as qualitative factors such as how consumers may
have reacted to it on social media.
Give an overview of the campaign’s creative approach: Creating a timeline of activity over
the campaign will show who delivered elements of the campaign and whether they were
delivered on time.
Break down results by channel: Each channel that is being measured should have its results
assessed against its objectives, with important KPIs and metrics presented so they are easy to
understand. Primary channels to report on include social media, search, and website
performance.
Write an executive summary: This is so major stakeholders can quickly learn the key findings
from the report, and your most pertinent information can be found if the report is brought up
at a later date.
Set recommendations for next steps: To ensure that the information found in your report is
acted upon, write the key recommendations that should be adopted for future campaigns.
These could be correcting past mistakes, channels that need optimizing or positive outcomes
that should be duplicated.
